Like many players, I enjoyed this game way back. Found this again and also this site and have attempted to install the GoG copy of alliance with the 1.3 upgrade file. However, when I click to Play X-Wing Alliance, I get the sound but the window closes and ends. The game never starts. I'm not sure what it is I'm missing, but its not functioning.
Windows 7 64 bit
Nvidia 9600
I-7 cpu
The base game runs fine, just won't start when I install XWAU Craft Pack v1.3
